February 3, 1989

MIKE HOLOVAK, who engineered the draft strategy that lifted the Houston Oilers out of the NFL depths, was named the club's general manager after Wednesday night's surprise resignation of Ladd Herzeg. Holovak joined Houston in 1981 and most recently was an assistant to Herzeg. His previous duties included player personnel director, and he is credited with the draft picks that helped Houston make the playoffs last two seasons.
